Bataan Governor Joet Garcia and Converge CEO Dennis Uy have spearheaded the program ceremony at Pagalanggang National High School, Dinalupihan, Bataan, where 50 of its scholars will be the first beneficiaries in the program's pilot implementation. "Dito, 500 ang makokonektahan ng Fiber to the Home at sa buong probinsya ng Bataan, higit na 100,000 makokonekta. He also lauded the digital readiness of Bataan being crucial to its different developmental goals, including education. "I’d like to congratulate the leadership of Bataan that made this happen. Whatever the province of Bataan needs, we will support them, for the education of these students," Uy expressed. According to Uy, laying down fiber network in Bataan began 20 years ago, said to be the one of the first expansion areas outside of Converge's home in Pampanga.
